What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that allows me to leverage my financial expertise in a dynamic environment, focusing on strategic growth and operational excellence.

I am a finance and operations leader with extensive experience in financial reporting, budget management, and strategic management. My career has been marked by a commitment to excellence and a passion for driving organizational success through effective financial practices. Currently, I serve as a Senior Financial Analyst at E78 Partners, where I provide technical support in financial modeling and reporting, helping clients understand their financial performance and optimize operations.

Previously, I led the finance and administration functions at Section 7, a non-profit organization, where I designed accounting systems and managed donor engagements, successfully raising $30,000 from an international donor. My role as Business Manager at Harare International School allowed me to implement significant improvements in financial reporting and compliance, achieving four unqualified audits. My diverse experience across various sectors has equipped me with the skills to manage complex financial operations and drive strategic initiatives.
